About this book
Taken prisoner in May 1813, a French soldier is shut up in Edinburgh Castle among several hundred fellow privates. His English earns him work as an interpreter, games of chess with a young lieutenant and French lessons for a stiff major named Chevenix. Robert Louis Stevenson dictated St. Ives to his stepdaughter Mrs. Strong between January 1893 and October 1894, and put it aside about six weeks before his death to take up Weir of Hermiston. Thirty chapters were done; Quiller-Couch wrote the rest, beginning at chapter XXXI.
